Sun Fudu naturally understood what the general said, but at this moment, it was really difficult for the troops under his command to recapture Shichang City, and he was afraid of the 50,000 troops under Hua'an.

"The main force of our army has marched westward, and there are only 30,000 troops under the command of this general, and the Jin army has gathered 50,000 horses in Shichang City, and I am worried that our army is not strong enough to defeat the Jin army!" After Sun Fudu finished speaking, his face was helpless.

The generals also felt some truth when they heard it, but if the Jin army was allowed to occupy Qishan, Jicheng might suffer a sudden attack by the Jin army at any time, and this feeling of thorns in the back was really uncomfortable.

"General, even if our army retreats to Jicheng, the Jin army will come, once the Jin army is in the city, the soldiers in the city must be panicked, and it will be even more unfavorable to our army at that time, it is better to strike first and launch an attack on Shichang City, with the strength of our army, we may not lose." The general hurriedly persuaded.

Sun Fudu thought about it carefully, and said, "It's okay!" The general led an army of 30,000 to march to Shichang City, at least to trap the Jin army around Qishan, so as not to threaten the safety of our army's grain route. ”

"Now that the general has decided, the last general will go and prepare." The general answered, turned around and went to prepare.

A few hours later, the 30,000 troops under Sun Fudu were assembled outside the south gate of Jicheng and ready to go on the expedition.

Sun Fudu was all clothed, stepped on the war horse and led the 30,000 horses under his command, and marched in the direction of Shichang City.

At this moment, in the direction of Guangwu City in the Liang Kingdom, Ma Qiu led the main army of 90,000 and took the lead in seizing Guangwu City before Xie Ai's 30,000 Liang soldiers and horses arrived. And firmly controlled Guangwu City.

After Ma Qiu completely controlled Guangwu City for two hours, the 30,000 Liangguo army led by Xie Ai arrived here, seeing that Guangwu City had been occupied by Ma Qiu's main army, Xie Ai did not attack the city, but retreated more than ten miles, set up camp in a higher position, and confronted the Ma Qiu army in Guangwu City.

Xie Ai's military talent is very powerful, but in the face of Guangwu City, where Ma Qiu's 90,000 troops are stationed, he also has no frontal attack ability, for this reason. He could only find a good place to stay. Confront Ma Qiu, and then, in the process of confrontation, look for Ma Qiu's flaws, so as to use these flaws to hit Ma Qiu's main army fiercely. and finally completely defeated the main army under Ma Qiu's command. and drove out of the territory of the Liang country.

If the autumn turtle can't shrink. Xie Ai could also afford to wait, after all, he only had 30,000 horses under his command. It was a local battle again, and Ma Qiu had an army of 90,000 under his command, and it was difficult to supply logistics, no matter what, Xie Ai always let himself take the lead in the war in order to be invincible.

Seeing that Xie Ai camped more than ten miles northwest of Guangwu City, Ma Qiu did not attack immediately, because he was defeated by Xie Ai in Guangwu City last time, Ma Qiu's heart was somewhat shadowy, he was afraid that he would fall into Xie Ai's plan again, so he was extremely cautious, and while garrisoning Guangwu City, he continued to send a large number of scouts and small forces to reconnoiter near Xie Ai's camp to find out the truth of Xie Ai's army.

And Xie Ai also took advantage of Ma Qiu's doubts and arranged many hidden tripwires around the camp, so that the scouts of the Zhao army who were probing suffered great losses, which made Ma Qiu feel that there were traps near Xie Ai's camp, so he did not dare to attack lightly.

For this reason, in the direction of Guangwu City, Xie Ai forced Ma Qiu to move him with suspicious tactics, which made a confrontation situation appear here.

In the direction of Shichang City, after several days of pacification, the people in the city have recognized the arrival of the Jin army very much, and seeing that Shichang City has gradually stabilized, Hua'an is also a lot more relieved.

In the past few days, the scouts in front have carefully explored the terrain of Qishan and drawn the corresponding map, and Hua'an has also stitched together the maps drawn by the scouts, thus obtaining the topographic map of the entire Qishan.

However, whether the topographic map drawn by the scouts is completely correct and whether there are any flaws, this Hua'an always has doubts, and once there is a hidden path that is not discovered by the scouts, it will be troublesome to really start a war, so for some important areas, Hua'an feels the need to go to investigate in person.

"Big brother, according to the scout's report, Sun Fudu, the general of Zhao who stayed in Jicheng, led his 30,000 troops to kill in the direction of Shichang City, and it is estimated that he will be able to arrive here in two days." At this moment, Wang San reported the news that Sun Fudu was about to lead a large army to kill.

When Hua An heard this, he smiled slightly, and said softly: "This Sun Fudu is really unbearable, our army won't fight him, he will send it to the door himself, haha!" ”

Wang San nodded and said: "It's still the eldest brother's calculation, saying that the Zhao army will come to attack, and Sun Fudu really led the army to attack." ”

"How! What is the state of the soldiers, can they deal with Sun Fudu's army of 30,000? Hua An said knowingly.

Wang San replied: "Big brother, don't worry! With our personal guard army alone, it is enough to resist the 30,000 troops under Sun Fudu, and now our army has 50,000 troops gathered here, which is more than enough to deal with the 30,000 horses under Sun Fudu. ”

"Haha! That's good, don't care about Sun Fudu first, you prepare the horses immediately, and let's go to Qishan to have a look later, for a few locations on the map, the eldest brother will go to check it out in person. Hua An said softly.

"Yes, big brother, I'll go and prepare." Wang San answered, turned around and went to prepare the horses.

Soon, the horses were ready, and dozens of people from Hua'an and Wang San rode their horses to Qishan to inspect.

After traveling for several miles, the group arrived at the top of a mountain, where there was a small road that could directly connect the north and south of Qishan, but because of the ruggedness and difficulty, the army generally did not take this road, and this road was more reserved for woodcutters on the mountain.

But for Hua'an, even a difficult path is extremely important, because no one can guarantee that this path will not become a shortcut for the enemy's sneak attack, and the small elite troops under his command can also pass through the path and cause a surprise attack on the enemy.

Standing at the top of the mountain, looking at the surrounding undulating mountains and the lush trees between the mountains, Hua'an was in a good mood.

The air and scenery of Qishan are first-class, and it is the starting point of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition in that year.

Hua An looked at the mountain peaks in the distance and said with emotion: "I think that back then, Zhuge Wuhou went out of Qi Mountain six times, and he started from here, but Zhuge Wuhou went out of the mountain six times and failed, which has to be regrettable!" ”

The generals behind him listened and nodded approvingly.

"Big brother, Zhuge Wuhou came out of Qishan and did not win because Shu was weak and Wei was strong, and besides, Wei had a talent like Emperor Xuan, the ancestor of our dynasty, how could Zhuge Liang be undefeated." Wang San said loudly.

"General, Zhuge Wuhou's six exits from Qishan all ended in failure, this is a reminder to our army, before our army is strong enough, we must not take the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong, so as not to be besieged by the troops of the whole country of Zhao State, resulting in heavy losses and falling short." A ministry general said.

Hearing this, Hua An nodded, and said with a straight face: "With the current strength of Zhao State, our army's Northern Expedition at this moment will inevitably lead to failure, so our army will have to wait for a few years, waiting for the best time to send troops to the Northern Expedition." ”

Hua'an has already been optimistic about this place, and sending troops from Qishan to the Northern Expedition is the most convenient and the best road, so Hua'an decided that no matter what, after this war, he must leave a large army near Qishan that is enough to control Qishan and Shichang City, so as to grasp the initiative in attacking Guanzhong and build this bridgehead for the next Northern Expedition.

"General Yang, the location of Shichang City is very important, after this battle, the general planned to let the general guard the passes between Shichang City and Qishan, I don't know what the general wants." Hua An looked at Yang An and asked softly.

When Yang An heard this, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "The general has an order, and the last general is willing to serve, as long as the last general guards here, Shichang City and Qishan can be guaranteed, and the general can rest assured." ”

"Okay, in the future, Qishan will all depend on the general, okay, let's go to the next place." After Hua An finished speaking, he rode his horse to another important position.

In this way, Hua'an took a group of generals to go around all the important positions in Qishan, and compared them with the map drawn by the scout in detail, and Hua'an also made some detailed corrections to the mistakes drawn by the scouts.

After inspecting all the important positions, Hua'an led a group of men and horses back to Shichang City, and according to the topographical characteristics of Qishan, formulated a number of battle plans, as long as Sun Fudu's 30,000 troops dared to enter Qishan, Hua'an had the ability to completely defeat it.

In order to kill as many enemy soldiers as possible, Hua'an ambushed a large number of elite soldiers and horses near several paths in Qishan, so as to give Sun Fudu a fatal blow from the flank.

In the city of Shichang, Hua'an only deployed 10,000 personal guards, and this 10,000 army was enough to block Ma Qiu's attack, while the remaining main army could go around the back of the Zhao army, so as to completely surround the Zhao army, and then annihilate it with all its might.

Two days later, the 30,000 army led by Sun Fudu arrived near Qishan, but Sun Fudu, who was jealous of China, did not immediately send troops to attack Shichang City, but set up camp fifteen miles away from Shichang City to confront the army of Hua'an.

The location of Sun Fudu's camp is very particular, with mountains and rivers in the back, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially to prevent sneak attacks.

Hua An was slightly surprised that Sun Fu was so cautious, because in his impression, Sun Fu was a rude and reckless man, an extremely belligerent general of the Zhao State, and now, the reckless man has become timid, and the fierce general is no longer brave, isn't it strange.
